Spore War has been an incredible journey!
Spore War has been an incredible journey for our table! Playing through has been a delight and a solid narrative playground. We started playing just a few months ago and decided to share our game with an audience which altogether has been growing how we play as well as a big learning experience in putting together a podcast.
We would love to invite you to come share that experience with us as we grow and improve and honestly have the best time playing this amazing AP. We drop new episodes Monday on youtube and on most podcast apps.
We just fought fungal T-rexes and it does not go well!

Episode 5 of the War for the Crown 2e Podcast is live on Youtube and Spotify!
War for the Crown is a campaign all about noble intrigue and political drama. It is heavy on Roleplaying. You'll get to watch as our party succeeds and sometimes fails at navigating the intricacies of courtly intrigue as they undermine rivals and win allies to their side. Along the way, you'll meet an eccentric cast of NPCs, and the PCs will find themselves facing off against conniving nobles and maybe even falling in love.
The War for the Crown is my conversion of the classic Pathfinder 1e adventure path to Pathfinder 2nd edition. I built it myself from the ground up!

Me and My Friend Did a Parahumans TTRPG One Shot!!!
This was our first time using the Skitter Dice System (which is an odd shot of the Weaver Dcie system) and while we did mangle the hell out of the system. It was a lot of fun. So if you wanna see us stumble around and somehow come out alive check it out!!!
One of my favorite moments from our Thirst of Strahd campaign | Session 1
One of the creepiest moments from our first session happened before the party had even properly met.
A young Vistani girl walked up to each of the three characters and handed them a handmade doll. Each doll resembled the person receiving it.
The unsettling part? She only had two dolls when she started.
Our campaign is called Thirst of Strahd, our sapphic take on Curse of Strahd where Strahd is reimagined as a woman. We recently started recording our sessions as a way to preserve the story, help with note-taking, and have something to look back on after the campaign is over.
If you'd like to see the scene, here's the timestamp from Session 1:
Come see our Masks of Nyarlathotep Actual Play - Full Spoilers
Removal of Masks - Seasons 1 and 2 now uploaded
Hi Folks, one full year (and two seasons) into our journey... I just wanted to pop in here and proudly share our little Call of Cthulhu offering!
Removal of Masks is an Actual Play group from Ireland and England playing through the Epic Call of Cthulhu campaign "Masks of Nyarlathotep" and having an absolute ball doing so! We're loving getting to share our 1920s roleplaying experience with the world and occasionally scaring the wits out of ourselves in the process!
Clear Warning - this is a long-form show with full playthrough and hitting most storylines so FULL SPOILERS for the campaign... (Don't @ me saying we spoiled it for you *grin*)
Greenfield based DnD podcast
Just wanted to share my group’s first episode of our actual play podcast, in case anyone here enjoys D&D and wants to support!

Alone Against the Flames | Full Solo Playthrough | Cthulhu Sleep Anthology
I started a Call of Cthulhu Sleeptube series for relaxing, sleeping, and decompressing. Part 1 is up!
I recently stumbled upon the "DND to fall asleep to" / Sleeptube community (shows like The Kingdom Sleeps), and I fell completely in love with the concept. There’s something so comforting about a calm, measured tabletop story mixed with soft ambiance to help you unwind.
I don't play D&D, but I do run a lot of indie and horror systems. And so I wanted to test this format out myself to create a quiet space where people can just press play to relax, concentrate, sleep, or decompress after a long day.
My new playlist is called the Cthulhu Sleep Anthology, and I’ll be doing full, uninterrupted playthroughs of solo investigative gamebooks in a very relaxed, low-energy tone with soft background soundscapes.
Flail to the Face Episode Ten is LIVE!

I can’t believe it’s done!
Between playing and editing, I’ve spent about 2 and a half years with this series. It really was a labor of love.
Thanks for traveling with us through the Misty Vale!
We hope you enjoyed it also.
Always remember to keep a fresh cake with you in case you meet a Wizard!
What's worked to help grow your show?
Hive Mind...what's worked and what hasn't when it comes to finding more ears to listen to your shows? Yes, I know the trailer swapping effect (totally keen to do this BTW, DM me) but beyond that. Podcast registers, paid promo, social media tactics (SM is a black hole cesspool IMO).
How do you feel about solo TTRPG actual plays?
I play solo TTRPGs and started an actual play channel. Wondering what the community's thoughts are on solo vs group actual plays? Or actual plays in general?
Campaign 2 shows how to play Shadowdark RPG, using the Dungeon Crawl Classics adventure module, Sailors on the Starless Sea. It's an old school, OSR, deadly starting adventure funnel/gauntlet, for level 0 characters to begin their adventuring career.

3 Tips from 13th Age to make your D&D combat better
Make misses have meaning. Add value to the number rolled on your d20. Add tension, meaningful choices, and variability to each round of combat...or just play a different system that already does all of those things!
